Hi - does anyone know how much a dealer would charge to update the computer so that it fully recognises the Columbus head unit I installed? I'd also like to switch off the annoying bluetooth connection chime! Does it need to be connected with a VCDS cable? I'm in Brisbane if you have any suggestions Many thanks.

Columbus head unit is skoda for a rns510? Correct? If so did you fit it yourself and need it coding to the gateway so it works on thr dash display? Not sure about the bluetooth connect chime...never heard that on a VW RNS....at a guess id say there would be a setting on the radio unit itself....VDUB....VOLKSWAGEN TECHNICIAN - 16 YEARS OF PAIN..VCDS CODING- FAULT DIAGNOSIS - PRE PURCHASE INSPECTIONS- REPAIRS9W2 BT KITS -$300 - 9W7 BT KITS - $450 - CANBUS UPGRADE $150BRISBANE / GOLD COAST

That's correct, VDUB - the Columbus is equivalent to RNS510. It works fine, but doesn't display info on the maxidot display. The bluetooth chime is a known problem and cannot be turned off from the menu. looks like solution is here - That annoying connection noise - Skoda Yeti - BRISKODA.net - The Skoda Forum and Community Also, can't seem to get the voice recognition to work - not so bothered about that though! Thanks for your help.

Look in the Audio forums for info on RNS510 units Huge threads about them there.
Same with DAB doesn't work here as we have DAB+ which is different.2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

My old 9W3 bluetooth unit from 2010 had the connection chime, but the two 9W7 units I've used do not - I don't think it's something you can turn on/off.
